# japanese-gpt2-medium
![rinna-icon](./rinna.png)
This repository provides a medium-sized Japanese GPT-2 model. The model is provided by [rinna](https://corp.rinna.co.jp/).
# How to use the model
*NOTE:* Use `T5Tokenizer` to initiate the tokenizer.
~~~~
from transformers import T5Tokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("rinna/japanese-gpt2-medium")
tokenizer.do_lower_case = True # due to some bug of tokenizer config loading
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("rinna/japanese-gpt2-medium")
~~~~
# Model architecture
A 24-layer, 1024-hidden-size transformer-based language model.
# Training
The model was trained on [Japanese CC-100](http://data.statmt.org/cc-100/ja.txt.xz) to optimize a traditional language modelling objective on 8\*V100 GPUs for around 30 days. It reaches around 18 perplexity on a chosen validation set from the same data.
# Tokenization
The model uses a [sentencepiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece)-based tokenizer, the vocabulary is also directly adopted from the pre-trained tokenizer in the [link](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece).
